  • Summary

  • Needless without saying, water is life and we will cease to exist without it. Every aspect of our lives is dependent on it and unfortunately, due to the barbarism of capitalist exploitation that is built off of the settler-colonial foundation of the region, the future of water in the southwest is more uncertain than ever before. In response to the inaction of the State of Arizona, the Gila River Indian Community decided to take a stance and pull out from subsidizing the state's water supply. In this episode of The Heatwave, we discuss the historical legacies of the colonization of local indigenous nations and how this is tied to this bold stance taken by the GRIC.
